The Network Next Door

Texas has the unique distinction for the highest number of displaced apparel workers from manufacturing and retail sectors. What that means is that in a state where Dallas once reigned in apparel merchandising and El Paso was the envy of apparel manufacturing there are large and increasing numbers of people with their Knowledge, Skills, and Experience (KSE), still.

These people have not disappeared. They have lost their employment, not their resources.

They live next to you.

They are for the most part without organization and getting by having found refuge in customer call centers, plastic injection plants and other jobs.

Working Mannequin recognizes these individuals as vital, valueable partners in a renewed and recharged apparel opportunity, both, for themselves, apparel retailers and others. This will not happen through mass-production facilities nor their jobs.

It will happen as they take their KSE and join with Independent Apparel Retailers to

create the network next door, across town, in the region,state and nation.

This far-reaching impact of apparel networks between Independent Contractors and Independent Retailers will extend as well to their neighborhood cousins; fabric retailers, and, textile. Who better than fabric retailers and textile to supply the more than 40 million, according to Home Sewing Association, people who sew whether for leisure or profit?

Welcome

Congratulations on your independence! Sandy Botkin, one of my adopted mentors, (Tax Reduction Institute) speaks of May 14 as independence day. He explains the average American wage earner works from January 1 to May 14 to fulfill his tax obligation to the government. That's virtually half the year!July 4, on the other hand is our nation's celebration of our independence. Let's be truthful. How independent are you economically and financially?Two weeks ago we made the prayerful commitment before God to launch TSR by no later than July 4. We commit ourselves before God to reveal to all interested how they can utilize for profit their resources in apparel with a view to attaining their independence. Join us.

About Me

"How did you ever think of this idea" a friend asked recently.
I told him of my early teen years when I was intrigued by "el contratista", "the contractor" in our farming community. It was a form of elitism
among local farmworkers to work with "el contratista".
I wondered, "Now, how does that work?" I knew he didn't own the land or the crops his "contract laborers" worked.
Now, my past intrigue has taken on a passion for independent contractors. This in the truest sense, not as our government categorizes so-called "contractors"
as in the countless apparel manufacturing sites so rapidly vanishing in America.
So, what's my message on "Independent Contracting"?
It is a legitimate business.
It is how the individual can leverage tax law to their advantage.
It is that when you create alliances, or networks, you multiply their efforts and revenues.
Unlike "el contratista", my conviction is the Independent Contractor, as the one who does most of the work, deserves the greater portion of compensation.
It's not a novel idea. It is a workable one. It is one which esteems and elevates the worth of the laborer, the Independent Contractor.

The Face of private ownership

The Working Mannequin direct model of apparel networks is putting a face of private ownership in Texas and the nation. It is a model which makes you the, "smaller firm", and "independent contractor" accountable to no one, but yourself.
